2.5 Connecting Power AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed. First, connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the power input receptacle then connect the AC plug to an electrical outlet.

2.5.1 Battery Power:

The scale can be used on AC power immediately. Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours before using the scale on battery power. The scale will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. With AC power, the scale is constantly charging, so the battery charge indicator (see item 10 in figure 3-2) will remain lit. The scale can be operated during charging, and the battery is protected against overcharging. During battery operation, the battery symbol indicates the battery charge level. The scale will automatically turn off when the batteries are fully discharged. For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room temperature.

0 to 10 % Remaining

11 to 40 % Remaining



Notes:

When battery symbol blinks fast, approximately 30 minutes working time is left.

When [lo.bat] is displayed, the scale will shut off.

Charging the scale must be performed in a dry environment.

CAUTION: Battery is to be replaced only by an authorized Ohaus service dealer. Risk of explosion can occur if the rechargeable battery is replaced with the wrong type or if it is not properly connected. Dispose of the lead acid battery according to local laws and regulations.

5. LEGAL FOR TRADE When the scale is used in trade or a legally controlled application it must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all pertinent legal requirements are met.

5.1 Capacity Label A label showing the capacity and readability of the scale must be installed near each display. If the Capacity Labels were installed prior to delivery, no further action is needed. If the Capacity Labels were not installed, they have been placed in the packaging material. Affix the labels above the displays as shown in Figure 5-1.

Note: The Capacity Labels will be destroyed upon removal, so only attempt to install them once.

Figure 5-1. Capacity Label location

5.2 Settings Before verification and sealing, perform the following steps: 1. Verify that the menu settings meet the local weights and measures regulations. 2. Perform a calibration as explained in Section 3.9. 3. Set the switch to Locked. See figure 5-1. The Menu Lock switch limits changes to the Cal, Setup, Readout, Unit and Print menus. The switch in type approved models may set some scale settings as required by the approval agency. The switch may be secured using paper seals, wire seals or plastic ties. Note: When LEGAL FOR TRADE is set to ON (LFT Switch in locked position), the menu settings are affected as follows:

Calibration (C.A.L) menu is not accessible

Dual Scale, Capacity 2, Graduation 2 and Units are locked at their current settings Zero Range setting is locked at 2% Stable Range setting is locked at 1d Auto-Zero Tracking setting is locked at 0.5d Stable Only is locked On Auto Print/ Continuous is disabled Lb:oz is locked Offf

5.2 Verification and Sealing The local weights and measures official or authorized service agent must perform the verification procedure.

5.3.1 Physical Seals

For jurisdictions that use the physical sealing method, the local weights and measures official or authorized service agent must apply a security seal to prevent tampering with the settings. Refer to the illustration below for sealing methods.
